Sharing files between wired and wireless networks

I have a home network consisting of one desktop PC wired to my wireless
router, and two laptops connecting wirelessly. All can access the internet
without a problem, but I recently tried to set up file sharing between them,
but the laptops cannot "see" the desktop and vice versa. All the computers
use the same workgroup, and I have at least one folder on each computer
shared so I'm not sure what the problem could be. When I go to map a network
drive the other computer does not show under the workgroup.

What do I need to do to be able to share files/folders between the wired
computer and the wireless ones?

Hi

Wireless is just a replacement for wire, if the wireless computer is capable
to connect to the Wireless source every think else should work according to
regular network rules.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
